M. Night Shyamalan has won Worst Director once already for Lady in the Water, but no movie of his has ever won Worst Picture. I suspect that will be corrected tonight. The Last Airbender is easily the worst-reviewed movie he has made, the worst-reviewed of the nominees, and one of the worst-reviewed movies of the year overall. Shyamalan will win too (for Director and probably Screenplay), and Rathbone will likely get Supporting (he's up for both Airbender and Eclipse, so it's a way to ridicule both films with one vote). It may get the Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3-D prize as well, as things like that are often used to pad the tallies of films they want to give lots of berries.
If The Last Airbender doesn't win, then Eclipse will. It's hardly the worst of the series, but its nods are likely in recognition of the first two movies (think of the avalanche of Oscars given to the third Lord of the Rings film). As there are more Twilights coming, I suspect that the final one will sweep the Razzies. Robert Pattinson, however, will probably win, for both Twilight and Remember Me.
As for Worst Actress, there's a good possibility for any of them, but the most likely are the Sex & the City 2 cast (a way to slam that film), Miley Cyrus (music stars tend to win - think Neil Diamond & the Spice Girls), and Megan Fox (in recognition of just about every movie she has made and of her almost instant punchline status). If pressed, I'd say Fox will take it. For the same reasons, I'd say Alba is likely to get Supporting.
I'll likely be totally wrong on most of this, but what the hell? It's all in good fun.
---------------------
Wow - I was actually right on most of them. Airbender takes home Picture, Supporting Actor, Director, Screenplay & 3-D, and Jessica Alba wins Supporting Actress.
Sex & the City 2 did rather well (or badly, I suppose), taking Actress, Ensemble & Sequel. Ashton Kutcher won Worst Actor, which should please Richard Roeper.
